Indian Dance


In Zaire - Johnny Wakelin (1976)

Once there was a battle there - in Zaire - in Zaire

Hundred thousand people there -in Zaire - in Zaire

AII those people gathered there- in Zaire- in Zaire

To see the rumble in the jungle there - in Zaire - in Zaire

Came a man called Elijan - in Zaire - in Zaire

With him came the superstar - in Zaire - in Zaire

AII those people came from far - in Zaire - in Zaire

To see the rumble in the jungle there - in Zaire - in Zaire

AII those people chanted - in Zaire - in Zaire

Seven rounds of torture there - in Zaire - in Zaire

One more round and Ali's there - in Zaire - in Zaire

There was great excitement everywhere - in Zaire - in Zaire

And who was the victor in the night? Elijah Mohammed's bog

Ali won the fight

the lightning struck twice in the night

First in the ring and then after the fight - in Zaire - in Zaire

I do not know the story behind this text and cannot really find a meaningful translation or imagine one. Who knows more about it, feel free to pass it.


The dance steps are not difficult

Step with the right foot in front passed to the left, weight on right,
Balance back with all the weight on the left foot,
Step right foot to right, weight on right and look to the right,
Rotate 180 ° (full reverse) by passing the left leg to the right past your right, weight on the left,
Place the right foot from behind past the left, weight on right,
Place the left comfortably to left
(and start again, step with the right foot...)

You can make it a spicier fitness dance by additional hopping one time more on every foot that you place.
